They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.. as you can see (a pun haha!) it is very important to keep that fragile area in the best condition possible. After all, you would not want your eye bags/circles/lines to be the first thing people notice when they meet you right?

Thanks to Lashem™ I got to try TWO eye creams! Eye creams are notoriously expensive and they can easily cost twice as much compared to the average moisturizer..

How to use:
Dab a thin layer on the area around your eyes after your morning cleansing routine. Let dry completely before applying makeup for face creams. Use on a daily basis for a long term effect. (Source: lashem.com/)

This eye cream is infused with vitamins and minerals and nourishes as well as aids in increasing elasticity. It does not seem to do a thing for elasticity, but it is moisturizing enough without causing milia.

The formula is runny and it takes some light patting before it absorbs. It wears well under makeup and does not cause foundation or concealer to ball up.

How to use:
Apply in the evening after your cleansing routine and gently smooth the formula to the area around the eye. Let formula dry completely before bed. (Source: lashem.com/)

It is supposed to de-puff and rejuvenate the appearance of tired eyes for a brighter and refreshed look. The consistency is gel-like, it goes on smoothly and is easily absorbed by the skin.

I didn't notice any significant brightening effect nor a dramatic difference to my under eye area however prolonged usage did help in reducing the appearance of fine lines.

The full ingredient list for 3-in-1 Eye Bright:

These eye creams come with a pump which make them much more hygienic. The only downside to the opaque packaging is that you cannot tell how much product is left in the bottle.

I prefer 3-in-1 Eye Bright because it actually did something and the lighter texture is much more to my liking. I will purchase it after I am done with my current bottle, that is if I do not get distracted by other eye creams in the market.

My favorite concealer has also a opaque packaging, I really get mad when it's finished and I know just in time I have to use some! Sometimes I keep a closed package because of this, but it shouldn't be a big trouble if beauty cream is over, you have time enough to buy another package without losing results, though you can't plan when you're going to buy before...Anyway I love the packaging! But doesn't that thing of waiting til dry get you mad? hahaha

hehe I enjoyed your pun! I've been hearing lately that unless eye creams are giving a visible result, they're pretty much interchangeable with your face moisturizer. I usually just use that, although if I found a really good eye cream, I might be able to justify the price.

Lately I am paying more attention to my eyes and eye care products too. All eye products claim to do so much but it seems like it takes a while to notice effects. 3-in-1 Eye Bright sounds like a nice product to try though!
